Therefore, emacs package should depend on emacs23! |

Binary package hint: emacs
Summary: the "emacs" metapackage has a confusing version number, and some users expect it to pull in emacs23 rather than emacs22. In particular, packages which depend on the "emacs" metapackage will pull in emacs22 even if emacs23 is already installed. Perhaps the description of the "emacs" package should be clearer about its being a metapackage, and perhaps point to information about main vs. universe.
Original description follows.
After installation of Ubuntu 9.10RC, I installed emacs23 package but not emacs package, and was additionally going to install w3m-el-snapshot package which depends on emacs package.
